I am looking for the verse(s) in the bible that talk about going before the judgement seat of christ and your sins are burned away like wood and hay and only the good remains as precious stone and jewels. PLEASE HELP!

I do and I feel like i was born to be with this guy. I love him more than anything but I don't know what he wants.. We have been through a lot and hurt a lot but it seems like we are always pulled to each other....

He hasn't been talking to me for more than 2 weeks ...never emails me back,,,I don't know what to do,,,

If i can't be with him, then i feel like i have no reason to live. Do you ever feel this way? I know people think i'm crazy and I should find other but then what were you born for??

I feel like i found the reason,,,,

Throughout history people have had gods to explain the world around them. There have been a lot of gods devoted to fertility, wars, harvests, etc. If you look at other religions they seem to mimic the characteristics dominant to the culture that practices them. Maybe instead of God making us in His image, we make gods in our image. Any thoughts?

I respect Christianity and other monotheistic religions, but just thought this was an interesting question because I believe Catholics think that the wafer becomes the actual body of Christ after it is blessed. I could be wrong about that so let me know, but if I'm right, then she must be allergic to Jesus!

I was talking to my father in law the other week and he was saying that sexual openess is the greatest sin. AKA sex b4 marriage, gays, etc. He was saying that the Bible says once we all have sexual acceptance like at Sodam and Gomora (excuse the spelling) that we have a reprobate mind and are making the final step to straight wickedness. Thoughts? I thought it said in the Bible that no sin is greater than another?

That a snake snuck up on a lady in a garden and that apples were declared taboo, and that the sons of the father s will be visited on then.

I say this is baloney and whoever believes it needs a good shrink.

Saturday is the original Sabbath? That is what it is right? And Christians worship on Sunday because that is the day God rose.

Let me ask you, where in the bible does it say to change the dates and time of what God's authority has put there? The worship and rest day is Saturday even Christ himself did this. So who changed the day to Saturday?

Why would God make deals with Satan? Why would he let Satan completely destroy a mans life just to prove a point? I know what you will say...he was rewarded ten fold at the end and all that...but what sick man would want to lost his wife and children for even a hint of a promise of more later...do you really think Job would have wanted this?

If all God gives as choices are heaven or hell, Obey or die that really isn't much of a choice. It is a forcefull means to say the least. If all God wanted was for people to say praise God or Glory to him in the highest he could have created robots and saved himself the trouble. If God ever did come back I would acknowledge his power but love him never.

I just started reading the bible for the first time, but it is kind of hard to understand at times. Does anyone know if there is a story version of the bible? Written in a way that younger adults could understand it. I don't want anything dumbed down, I'm looking for something that has real substance that any one of any age could read, preferably something actually sanctioned by the church or at least something that a youth group pastor might hand out to someone who would want to convert, but has trouble getting through the whole bible.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Destroying the tower of Babel was a jealous act, no question about it -- he hated the idea of a united humanity accomplishing TOO much.

God wanted to have some fun toying with Abraham by seeing if he'd butcher his son.

God killed millions of innocent babies during the Great Flood.

Satan appears completely outclassed!

The devil wanted to be like God and God damned him. Jesus said he was God and went on to sit on the right hand side of his father. So, if God wants us to be one with him how is that possible? If we are Good, we are being like God. If we're bad we're being like Satan. If we're both we're being like God for God can love and hate, save and kill. If we're perfect we're being like God. If we're imperfect we are being like Satan. What does it mean to be one with God?

I'm after concrete answers here- facts, names, dates. Matthew, Mark, Luke, John etc won't do for me I'm afraid- I want provable fact.

I'm trying to work out why so many Christians have such absolute faith that the book they subscribe to is to be trusted (I mean, I can write a book and say 'you just have to believe this', but it's not going to be the word of god).

Other than being TOLD by believers that this book is the genuine article, what makes people think they can trust that this book is the genuine article? The teachings within it are not enough to justify the validity of the text- we need to know where it's from.

And as a sub question, if the bible IS the word of God, then who's word is in other religions' texts like the Koran? Is that God, too? Who's got the facts right and why are there different versions?

Anyone?

For the Christains

You say you are not sex slaves of God, but you are. For when the heavenly father is done with your marriage, you have to be like the angels. So he sexually uses you here on earth, or slaves you together to build his heavenly worship. Show me in the bible that the God does not breed you like animals, or show me why he breeds you like animals......USING THE WORD OF GOD.


For what ever other god there is what is your view on marriage in heaven?
thank you...this is not meant to be a troll question, your answers will help me understand your faith. Thank you again.


and for the Christians that say you just do not have sex, but you still love her...1Cor 7:29 says your marriage will be like you had none. like you traveled the earth and never new anyone. She will no longer be in your heart or your arms. Why is God like this? and do not twist the bible around please...

why isn't she considered an Apostle? She was there for all the sermons and lectures, she received the Word of God from Christ Himself, she did virtually everything the 12 guys did. Yet Christ chose to reveal Himself to her first after resurrection. Was there any other reason other than her gender?

If you are pro-death penalty, do you have proof that it deters crime? Compared to other nations like Canada, even when adjusted to population, they have 1/10 the murder rate as the US. How do Americans justify this governement sanctioned killing? Christians, didn't your god say thou shalt not kill/murder (depending on which bible you happen to read)?
Yes this does belong in R&S considering the number of chistians that make up the US.
